The '85 definitely had a by-pass valve aka hooter valve (or at least my '85 sedan did, and the service manuals show it). I have a spare airbox sitting around, if you want it email me. As for the other intake hoses I'd say try a site sponsor.
That by-pass valve should recirculate air from just the turbo intake side to just behind the throttle butterfly. It shouldn't open to the atmosphere, while this will still work, it will hurt performance. If I were you I'd also check operation of the valve while it's out (apply vacuum to it, with it out you can watch the valve open). If you're going to do DIY projects on the car pick up a Bentley Service Manual. Best of luck!
